Hi Google - I am requesting guidance!
I am prepping for my interview specifically GCA and open ended questions. I struggle to tell if the outcome should be talking through your process/steps (maybe for a question like - how would you go about determining program complexity) vs a specific solution such as create x new product, for x market by x date based on my assumptions. Is the desired outcome something I can clarify with the interviewer?

What would you, if an aggressive homeless person got in your face, what would you do?
STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) is a useful structure for these and any other interview questions. You can start with “what would you do” in general, but then use a concrete example for support.
What G1 said. They’re also looking for critical thinking and how you’ve handled past experiences. No “right” answer. Don’t be afraid if they ask you to explain a situation that went poorly. They’re looking to see how you knew it went poorly and if you learned from it.
There’s no magical answer here but I would talk through your approach, solutions, and tie it back to a time you’ve handled something similar.
In one of my last interviews, I walked thru the approach but without the natural queue of “Tell me a time when...?”, I forgot to tie it back to a prior situation and the result. Sucks because I had a story I could have tied if I remembered or was asked for an example. Hoping it doesn’t cost me.
I didn’t even know I had to give an example. I just walked the interviewer thru the approach in a very unstructured way. 🥺
